[BC] Radio's computerized future?

[Bruce Potterton - KSGN]

Yes, that is exactly how it works.   In out case we put the audio nodes in
each studio...  less runs to TOC and then just one cat5 from each node to
the Ethernet Switch.  I originally planed to put the switch in each studio,
but the HP switches that I used have very noisy fans.

So I presume that these "dongles" have XLR on one end, and RJ45 on the
other, 
so they connect to your equipment, then you run the CAT5 to the rack unit? 
Interesting.

I find the whole thing quite fascinating, and wish I could "play" with one.
